Why is Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham), the most important player, hesitant to renew his contract.
Son Heung-min signed a four-year contract with Tottenham in 2021. Next year, Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract will end. It is time to renew the contract with Son Heung-min.
However, Tottenham remains silent. If Son plays for another year like this, he will become a free agent in 2025. Tottenham plans to renew its contract for one year under the terms of its contract. If so, Son will wear his uniform until 2026.
Why is Tottenham hesitating to renew the contract with Son Heung-min for a long time? It is because they are not sure that Son Heung-min, who is 32 years old, can maintain his prime after 2026. After all, Tottenham is also thinking of letting Son go after his prime.
"It's not my part. I have always said the same thing under such circumstances. Ben Davies and Sonny are the most important players in the club. We will be able to talk about signing a contract when the right time comes," coach Angie Postecoglou said, declining to comment.
"There were a lot of concerns among Spurs fans that Sonny, the most important player in last summer, could leave the team," HITC said. Postecoglou is reorganizing his team focusing on young players. Nevertheless, Sonny has to be caught unconditionally. If Tottenham leaves Sonny alone, he could leave the team after the next season."
While playing 408 games for Tottenham, Son has already been ranked as a legend with 162 goals and 84 assists. "I have nothing more to say because I am still a member of Tottenham," Son said on his contract renewal.
